I'll put on the box of memories
My first time to say 'I love you, Ma and Pa'
My first time to open my eyes in this world
My first time to cry breathlessly
I'll put on the box of learnings
My first time to feel the so-called 'Love'
My first time to accept God
My first time to ask forgiveness
I'll put on the box of success
My first time to stand on my own
My first time to celebrate victory
My first time to earn money
I'll put on the box of overcomings
My first time to feel broken-hearted
My first time to lose my direction
My first time to feel like discriminated
Until the day I close my book
I could have a great look
Once in my time
I have just completed my boxes of lifetime
like being in the womb an coming forth to the world you want and see everything...a new emotion...a new feeling..a new want...love is all and then some...but to know you feel this way...is a blessing..you are very much a poet in your own rite...and I agree you are a poet..no doubt...stay that way...open your eyes and heart to all...everything...your friend whisperkwane
